Updated:15:24, Wednesday May 21, 2008Bone fragments found in the cellar of a former Jersey children's home "could suggest homicide", say police on the island.

The remains were found alongside teeth belonging to a child in one of the underground chambers at Haut de la Garenne.

The news comes after it emerged earlier this month that a fragment of bone which initially sparked the search at the former children's centre was thought more likely to be a piece of wood or coconut shell.

Deputy chief officer Lenny Harper said a total of 30 bone fragments and seven teeth had been found in one of the cellars at the home.

He added that it could suggest that a body or bodies may have been cremated in a fireplace at the former children's home.

Sky's Crime correspondent Martin Brunt, on Jersey, said: "We expect police to update the number of suspects involved in this investigation, which we understand has now gone up to 70.

Haut de la Garenne became the centre of a historic abuse inquiry in February after the discovery of what was thought at the time to be part of a child's skull.

Following the find, scores of people came forward claiming they were abused at the home. Some have talked of underground punishment rooms where they were drugged, raped and beaten.

Forensic teams subsequently uncovered a network of four secret underground chambers at the site where they found the teeth and bone fragments.

In other chambers, officers also found shackles, a blood-stained bath and the haunting message "I've been bad for years and years" scrawled on a wooden post.

Police have said there are more than 40 suspects, although so far only one man have been arrested in connection with alleged child abuse at Haut de la Garenne.

Gordon Claude Wateridge, 76, originally from Croydon, south London, is charged with three offences of indecent assault on girls under 16 between 1969 and 1979 when he was warder at the home.
